The data is then made available using the JSON function. So here in my code for JSON req start dot py, I'm going to request some data from the JSON endpoint at httpbin, which I know returns some valid JSON code. To access the parsed data, I just need to use the JSON function. So lemme go ahead and do that, and I'll need my variable data object, and I'll just simply call result dot JSON. And of course, we can go ahead and print this out just to make sure it works, and I'm going to use the dump s function to dump out data object and give it an indentation of four.
